at 2 o'clock this morning and he admitted that the arrest had been made by men from his office hidden from smart criminal lawyers this woman has been around the town for several years at different times said mr hoyne and we want to question her i won't say just what it is that we want to talk to her about nor will i say where she has been taken ; i don't want any smart criminal ! lawyer to have her released on a writ j before i have time to carry out my ! plans she may be released if i learn j what i want to learn in the morning i then again we may hold her for some time attorney charles e

captain larkin the police have been close upon the trail sev [ eral times in the crucial moment each case failed because the wit nesses who could have told a great many things refused to testify through fear of publicity we know that one victim paid 3,800 another was mulcted 1,700 and a third 2,300 it is a question in my mind whether these three cases are not part of the blackmail syndi
